1. An LED array comprising:
an LED protective lens array including,
a body having a first surface; and
a plurality of LED protective lenses extending from the body, each including an LED accommodating cavity;
a pcb board having a second surface with a plurality of individual LED elements, wherein the first surface of the body is configured to be attached to the second surface of the pcb board by way of an adhesive material applied to the first surface and/or the second surface;
wherein the LED accommodating cavities are configured to overlay the plurality of individual LED elements disposed on the pcb board; and
wherein attaching the LED protective lens array to the pcb board via the adhesive forms a mechanical seal between the LED protective lens array and the pcb board that disallows a flame from travelling into or out of at least one of the LED accommodating cavities when the LED protective lens array is attached to the pcb board.
